Do people in China play the same sports in different seasons of the year?
It's really freezing (sunny, cool, breezy, chilly, warm, humid, hot) today. If I didn’t
have to take the IELTS exams, I would prefer to stay at home. Actually I prefer
cloudy days, because then it's neither too hot nor too cold. And what's more
important to me is that this weather is perfect for photography as the light is so
soft. So
at this time of day, I like to go out with my camera to take photos.
In my hometown the weather is quite pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold most
of the time. Even in winter, the temperature is still quite mild. But the summer is
often hot and humid.
The bad thing about the weather in my hometown is that it doesn't snow as
heavily as does up north like in Beijing for example. It does snow, but usually we
just get a little bit. Every time I see children having a snowball flight or making a
snowman on TV, I really envy them.
I believe though China is a vast country, there are four distinct seasons in most
places. But unfortunately in recent years, many places are becoming boiling hot
in the summer. I guess the changes are primarily due to the greenhouse effect. So
in
this extreme weather, I will really prefer to work at home,
and the air-
conditioning is working all day long, and at night, I even sleep on the floor to be
cooler.
Yes, Nanjing is facing more and more oppressive haze; I always keep a watchful
eye on the weather forecast. I installed an app in my mobile phone, and I watch
the PM 2.5 indicator it has become a bit of a routine for me.
As for the unusual weather, global warming has really become a hot topic around
the world. It is caused by the greenhouse effect as the sheer volume of carbon
dioxide emitted into the air, prevents the atmosphere from cooling off at night.
As for other unusual weather, hurricanes, which can easily flatten thousands of
homes near the coast in a short period of time, are becoming more common.
Well, if I
had to choose between the two, I'd probably go with the distinct
seasons in each year because each season has its own merits. I think I would get
bored if it was warm all year round.
No, in spring and autumn, when the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot,
people in China tend to hike in the mountains, or go running. When it comes to
summer, people can choose more physical activities like swimming, camping in
the forests and playing balls, etc. But in winter, people believe it not suitable for
outdoor exercises, so they prefer to stay at home to keep warm.
